SO!
I entered Ludum Dare #29 this weekend.
For those who don’t know about it, it’s kind of a contest where the goal is to make a game in 48h, all alone, from scratch. All graphics, code, sounds— everything must be done from scratch, following a theme.
The theme this time was “Beneath the Surface”.
You can play my game, Where Is My Bone?, here.
This was the second time I entered a Ludum Dare (and a game jam, for that matters), and the last time I gave up after like 8 hours… so this one was my first successful one.
So, here’s a post mortem of my experience. This will be divided into 2 parts.
This first one will be about the “technical” part, and the second one, which will come later, will be more like personal rambling about life, goals and stuff.
(Of course, this might contain spoilers, so if you want to play, go ahead! It shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes of your time, and they’re a walkthrough if you’re stuck.)
